eval could not catch exit() calls but exit() calls within eval actually won't
have the process exit...I just tested it. I am not aware of any $SIG{__DIE__}
handler....since in most cases the eval competed normally, I kind suspect that
it is mod_perl or apache that is doing something...
Thanks
Ron

A segfault or an exit().
Your perl is pretty old, so it's possible you're seeing some
long-ago-fixed bug here. But eval can't catch segfaults or exit()
calls in any perl code. You could also have a $SIG{__DIE__} handler
somewhere that is intercepting the error and not returning.
